Painting Churches is Tina Howe's moving and hilarious portrait of a family of artists falling apart and coming together. Fanny and Gardner Church are Bostonian bluebloods. Gardner was once a famous poet and is now slipping in and out of senility. Fanny is his eccentric wife with an antic, fun loving yet protective aspect to her personality. They are in the process of moving out of their Beacon Hill home into their summer cottage on Cape Cod due to the shambles their lives have become. They have invited their daughter, Mags, to come and help them. Mags is on the verge of artistic celebrity as a portrait painter. She has spent her life seeking approval from her father, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, and her mother, a flamboyant aesthete.

Be prepared to do a 1-2 minute character-driven monologue. Please bring one headshot and résumé to the audition.

Roles available:

Fanny Church (female identifying) - over 60

Gardner Church (male identifying) - over 60

Mags Church (female identifying) - over 40
